Howto open port-range in Plesk Firewall

[BoXie]

Hi,

I like the new Firewall module in Plesk Reloaded .. BUT .. how can i open a RANGE of ports (for example 49152:65534 for passive ftp). I can't type more than 5 characters in the port textbox.

Looks like the firewall module is not very usefull after all.

BTW: i do not have root acces .. only Plesk admin access. But if absolutely necessary .. i can get in contact with my HSP for root stuff.

Please help.

Here is a hack that may help. It does require root access:

Add the following rule:

Allow incoming tcp port 32768

Activate the firewall.

Edit /usr/local/psa/var/modules/firewall-activate.sh to change 32768 to 32768:65000

Execute activate-firewall.sh

You would have to edit and activate after each change to the rules. It appears that the script is generated from the mySQL database.

It appears that SW-Soft could fix the problem by adding a second field that would define a range.

Indeed .. i hope they add that second field.

Thanks for your help !
